In my capacity as Minister for Justice and Equality I have made the following appointments:
My original appointments as Special Advisers were Ms. Jane Lehane and Mr. Thomas Cooney. I recently appointed Ms. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill as my Special Adviser following the retirement of Mr Cooney. The salary in all cases was the Principal Officer standard scale (€75,647 - €92,550 with effect from 1 July, 2013). Ms. Lorraine Hall was appointed as my Personal Assistant (salary scale €43,715 - €56,060) and Ms. Cleo Lambert was appointed as my Personal Secretary (salary scale €23,820 - €47,755).
I am satisfied that all those that I have appointed are ably qualified to discharge their responsibilities. In compliance with the Ethics in Public Office Act, Statements of Qualification are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, and would be available for the Deputy's inspection.
